Two things to make you feel better

1) An image of two hamsters. Johan the libertine (that's what I'll be calling my man in London from now on, I think) sent it to me saying that Ingrid had once upon a time sent it to him. I love how all of Johan's ladyfriends send him funny images and videos of animals. Perhaps because we all know he'll appreciate little things like "the way the tissue of the mouth on the left hamster is just stretched to the breaking point in an attempt to fit that strawberry in there".

As my friend Anne once observed, Johan is always ready to share an enthusiastic commentary on anything.

2) Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory cream! I put it all over my neck and it's really doing wonders. Plus, its somewhat peculiar scent sent me on a good long trip down memory lane. It totally reminded me of the scent of this lotion called Idomin, which they sell to this day in Sweden. And you wanna know something else? I compared the ingredients, and it turns out that Idomin contains bergamot oil, and my pain-killer cream contains orange oil.

Guess that just proves I have superb sensory cells in my nose and that they're superbly connected to my memory, which is also quite superb.

About Me

I'm the 29-year-old love child of a Swedish airhostess and a Danish ad man. After five years in New York, I’ve recently returned to my native Copenhagen where I continue to live above my means. I love dogs, children and the elderly, and like defying my lactose intolerance by eating foods with lots of cheese. I don't care terribly for pizza, but I like the look of melted mozzarella suspended mid-air, and the expression on a person's face when it finally looses its elasticity and boomerangs shwuph onto their chin. Apart from recreational substance abuse, I relax by splitting hair - something that has lately gone way out of hand.
